Hi,
I just tripped over this snipped below in a piece of code, I didn't write and which I don't understand:
... struct somestruct { struct entrystruct *e1 __attribute__ ((packed)); struct entrystruct *e2 __attribute__ ((packed)); }; ...
Is this meaningful?
I guess the author wanted e1 and e2 to point to a "packed struct entrystruct", but this doesn't seem to be what GCC
interprets this code.
There is no reason a definition of "struct entrystruct" should even be visible at
this point, so that doesn't seem like a very reasonable interpretation.
